Markus Shoots.....

Markus scores the first goal of the season for NYR.

Perfect

Yes!

I saw that goal live! He nearly scored a couple minutes sooner...

Gomez looks very dangerous. Naslund should be able to find the openings like a few years ago. I think it will be his last 30+ goal season.

I hope he has a great season. I think he is the sort of person who needs to focus entirely on his game. I think he had to multi-task in Vancouver as captain and that was too much.

He always grimaced in every interview after every game. It was as if he was being asked about his next trip to the dentist.

Should have been traded to montreal for a bagel when we had the chance.(to be fair-a day old bagel)

So, if the Canucks had a chance to pick up a 30+ goal scoring veteran, you would compare him to a day old bagel and not want them to take him on the team? Or do you just have little knowledge of how hard it is to get such a player in the modern day NHL?

Markus is a very valuable addition to any team and is a class act. I think that he will have a great season. Just because he wasn't producing like he was in his prime doesn't mean that he won't be an amazing second line forward where ever he plays. That statement was just ignorant.
